  • S5 Ep. 5: Three Supplements That May Benefit Your Health: N-AC, DIM & Myo-Inositol
    Sep 19 2024
    Today on The Hormone Genius Podcast we are talking about 3 popular supplements. N-Acetyl-Cysteine, DIM, and Myo-Inositol. We are diving into what Jamie & Teresa know and recommend in regards to what health benefits could be possible from considering one or more of these 3 supplements. Now it first is important to remember to talk to your trusted health care professional in regards to whether you personally should, or should not take these or any supplement. It is also important to remember that it is good to do your own research. For example, you can look into the database sponsored by the National Institutes of Health called Pubmed https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ and look at all the research articles that exist in regards to these supplements. If you want to have a better idea of how to choose a quality supplement consider this article by FullScript which gives some basic but good information about knowing which supplement companies make quality and responsible products, https://fullscript.com/blog/third-party-certifications. Okay, here is a simple 101 on each supplement we are discussing, but it is just the tip of the iceberg. (NAC) N-acetyl-cysteine is an essential amino acid, a precursor to glutathione, our master antioxidant, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory rich properties. It is used as a detoxification of the liver, especially beneficial for overdoses of acetaminophen. It has been used to treat and support different lung diseases, as it is anti-inflammatory and reduces oxidative stress. It has been used to treat many other diseases, including OCD & trichotillomania, viruses, PCOS, endometriosis, and lastly because of its mucolytic properties has been used to improve quality cervical mucus in patients trying to conceive. (DIM) Diindolylmethane, a compound that comes from cruciferous vegetables, has been found potentially to benefit the modulation and support of estrogen metabolism. The evidence is growing and its use in the supplement world has been growing as well to benefit estrogen dominance, and promote better detoxification of hormones. DIM has done most of its research on stopping the growth of cancer cells, and some research is promising, but more is needed to know if DIM could be used effectively for cancer. Myo-Inositol is a natural isomer of glucose that has some powerful effects in the body. It has been studied well, and found to improve ovulation & menstrual cycles, body mass index, insulin level and cholesterol. It has been studied to prevent gestational diabetes, and also has been used to treat OCD, and other mental health disorders. But, it is most well known for its use in PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) for restoring ovulation, helping with high androgen levels, improving insulin sensitivity, and pregnancy rates. We hope you find this information empowering, and invite you to do your own thorough research and talk to your personal healthcare professional about what supplements are right for you. Also, if you have had a positive experience with one of these three nutrients, please share your story at thehormonegenius@gmail.com!

    Screening for early detection of cancer is one of the most important health care decisions you can make. We have all had a loved one, a friend & people in our lives who have had a cancer diagnosis. Cancer is an unfortunate reality that plagues the human race & its effects are devasting on both individuals and families. It is also a disease that in medicine we still do not understand, and whether you are the most healthy person in the world, or not, we are all at risk for cancer. Today on The Hormone Genius, we will do an overview of what cancer screenings are most important to consider, and how early detection is truly the key to saving lives. We will touch on the most common cancers women are at risk for, and what are the most common cancer screenings to ask your doctor about ,including cervical, breast, lung cancer and colon cancer. There are many cancers unfortunately that do not have standard screenings which we did not cover today, so please make sure you take a look at the websites below to get more information on cancers which we did not cover such as skin cancers including melanoma, and uterine cancer, and blood cancers and more.

  • S5 Ep. 1: Hormones & Money: Tracking How you Spend $ in Your Cycle
    Aug 14 2024
    Do you spend money differently in the different phases of the menstrual cycle? It is an interesting thought and discussion that Jamie & Teresa will dive into today on the opening episode of Season Five of The Hormone Genius Podcast! Recently, Jamie was interviewed on a different podcast regarding cycle-synced finances with Amanda Teixera from The Catholic Money show. Jamie had so much fun diving into the discusion and research regarding our behaviors in relationship to spending, and how we choose to give over our dollars. The endocrine system is complex and we already have many studies that discuss how hormones effect human behaviors and responses in the area of stress, human development, social interactions, and even criminal behavior. There is a growing amount of research that also says that hormones effect the way you make financial decisions as well! Welcome to Season 5 and lets get ready to dive into some amazing topics and interviews. We are excited to continue to journey along side of you to help you become the genius of your own hormones!

    We are bringing to you on The Hormone Genius Podcast an occupational therapist who is an expert in Pelvic Floor Therapy. Lisa Whisenant believes that anyone can benefit from pelvic floor therapy. That Pelvic floor therapy is NOT about kegels and only internal work, and there is a big difference between what is “common” versus what is “normal” when it comes to women’s health. She has her own personal journey that has made her passionate about helping women restore health, find answers to pelvic pain, and healing from conditions like endometriosis. "I have endometriosis and adenomyosis, which has fueled my need to advocate for women with chronic pain conditions. I’m also a mother and see how neglected this population is when it comes to healthcare in our country. Too many of my patients have been dismissed by other providers, so my goal is for them to feel heard, supported, and educated at each one of our visits." Lisa Whisenant received her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, with a Minor in Psychology from Texas A&M University and continued her education to achieve a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy from the University of Texas Medical Branch.

She has completed post-professional training in pelvic floor therapy, focusing on pregnancy, postpartum, and chronic pelvic pain. She holds a certificate in Maternal Mental Health from Postpartum Support International. Her background practicing in multiple Occupational Therapy environments provides an innovative approach to therapy, extensive knowledge of self-care methods, and proficiency in trauma-informed care. Lisa is currently 1 of 3 Certified KickPink Practitioners in Texas and the only in the DFW area, trained to help prevent and alleviate side effects of breast cancer treatment. She is currently treating survivors with stage 0-1 lymphedema. Lisa found her passion for pelvic health after the birth of her daughter and her own diagnosis with endometriosis. She understands the experience of having chronic pain and works to be an advocate for all her patients, providing a holistic approach to healing. Lisa is a proud Texan, married to her best friend, Justin, & together they have a beautiful daughter, Lyla.

    Dr. Malaika Woods has a great expertise in many areas. She is certified by the Institute for Functional Medicine, and she is Double Board Certified both in Obesity Medicine, and Obstetrics & Gynecology. According to Dr. Woods, “The human body is divinely designed and has a great capacity to heal itself. We just need to learn how to fuel the body with what it needs. I am excited to use my knowledge of integrative functional medicine and bio-identical hormones to help individuals discover the root causes of their illnesses and unlock their body’s full potential. My journey into weight loss then led me into bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) certification. Once I incorporated BHRT, I started seeing great improvement in my client’s health. But there was still something missing. The missing piece was integrative functional medicine which is all about discovering the root cause. Now I have a complete toolbox to help women discover the underlying cause of their condition and truly unlock their body’s AMAZING potential.
